That is totally understandable. We are so much looking forward to  Izzy 3.

How about a convention to kick off the new version sometime soon?

Bravo to the entire team… 

Any idea of the ETA of Izzy3? and does the new pricing come into effect at the same time? I've got a bunch of students hooked on Isadora and the university wants to buy a license, but i recommended they wait until the new educational discount is in the system.

@mark

It would be devastating and highly disruptive to have the Isadora forum compromised. Best to keep vigilant and on top of user privacy. Is it possible to consider stripping user data from archived forums if you think there is the possibility of a breach?

I have a MacPro 2013 6 core D700  and a few datapath x4's and triple head DE's I can test on. 

@mrtamale

There is another option for installing and using Isadora 2.6

You can create a small partition  (48-64gb) and install an older mac OS on that system (high sierra is fine).

It's not ideal, but it will bridge the time until Isadora 3.

@topherbb

Did you see this?
https://community.troikatronix...
Looks like you should be good to go with Isadora 3 this summer.

Looking forward... thank you for the effort 💐 

Dear All,

Thanks for your patience. Someday I hope we'll actually release a point-zero version and not have to make a point-zero-point-one the day after. Sigh...

Anyway, v3.0.1. is ready for download. Isadora was doing crazy stuff with numbers that ended one or more zeroes. It's all fixed now, so please discard v3.0 and get v3.0.1.

Downloads are on the "Get It" page

Best Wishes + Thanks Again,
Mark

@woland Thanks, submitted a ticket.

@catfergusson @Aolis and thers.

OK -- the plans have changed again. I'm going to Prague for 2 days of the PQ -- 14th and 15th, leaving on 16th.

Let's find each other. PM me on FB and we can exchange phone numbers.

Best Wishes,

Mark

From the Isadora 3 Release Notes

Theme Editor

For the first time ever you can create your own custom themes for Isadora.

To access this feature, go to the menu in Isadora and select View > Show Theme Editor.

You can select a different theme to use by going to the menu in Isadora and selecting View > Themes.

You can move your themes between computers by going to the menu in Isadora and selecting View > Open Themes Folder and then copying the files to another computer.

Here are some Isadora Themes made by Ryan Webber (Dusx) which are available on the TroikaTronix Plugin Page.

DX - Rustbelt

DX - Live10

@woland

I have read and looked over the  release notes a few tones now. Congratulations on getting the notes together so thoroughly. I do notice a gap though, and that is changes to recording video to file. I for one would really appreciate an explanation of the changes and options currently    available in v3 concerning recording video files of active stages.

Best Wishes

because it only shows the window if Isadora is the top application

Actually, you've identified a bug: if you untick the "Floating Stage Windows" after you've already shown the preview once, they will ignore the setting and still "float." However, if you restart Isadora with this box unticked, I'm 99% sure it will work. Give it a try.

@DusX, please add this bug to the sheet: "Name: Preview Windows Don't Update Configuration Once They've Been Shown" (This is because we're holding on to preview windows when they are hidden, to speed up the showing of many previews on Windows. This was to deal with the fact the Window/OpenGL context creation is so bloody slow on Windows.)

Best Wishes,
Mark

@bonemap

I think you should keep your orbbecs at the ready ☺

Just to save y'all a bunch of scrolling, because the original release notes are quite long:

3.0.2 Release Notes (July 22nd, 2019)

MacOS Multichannel Sound Support

Mark reinstated the old MacOS multi-channel sound support, which means that there is now an item in the output menu labeled "Sound Output Setup" again, which functions on MacOS and shows a "not implemented" alert on Windows. However, this is a temporary solution, eventually we hope to add multi-channel sound support using the SoLoud library so it can be cross-platform.

Bug Fix, Plugin - OSC Multi Transmit plugin - OSC Multi Transmit Will Not Send Mixed Types is fixed. (Issue present in 2.6.1.)

Bug Fix, Plugin - Activate Scene - “transition” input re-added.

Bug Fix, Plugin - Activate Scene Amount - “transition” input re-added.

Bug Fix, Plugin - Stage Mouse Watcher - actor now functions in full screen, non-blended displays, and preview windows.

Bug Fix, Plugin - JavaScript - Issue where Javascript lost color formatting when moving the window between displays was fixed.

Bug Fix, Plugin - JavaScript - Issue where Javascript editing was very sluggish was fixed.

Bug Fix, Plugin - JavaScript+GLSL Shaders - Issue with undo not functioning properly was fixed.

Cosmetic Fix, Plugin - Alpha Tool - Fixed a few typos and clarified the settings for the "action" input.

Cosmetic Fix, Plugin - Sound Frequency Watcher - Fixed a  typo.

Cosmetic Fix, Dialog - "Isadora has experienced an unexpected error" - Fixed a  typo on Mac.

Feature Added - 32-bit Plugin Warning - On Windows 10 Isadora 3 will now warn you if you attempt to start up with one or more 32-bit plugins in an Isadora 3 plugin folder, give you their names, and give you the option to open the relevant folder to remove the offending plugin(s).

Feature Added - Stage Setup - Added a "Reset" button for the curves on blended Stages

Bug Fix, Feature - IzzyMap - Publishing IzzyMap points using the trackpad ‘ctrl+click’ and right-click fixed.

Bug Fix, Feature - IzzyMap - Scrolling through the list of mapping slices with the mouse wheel/trackpad fixed.

Bug Fix, Feature - IzzyMap - A scrollbar now appears if you add a large number of mapping slices

Bug Fix, Feature - IzzyMap - IzzyMap window is now auto-closed if the Projector actor is selected and reset via the menu option "Reset to Default Values"

Bug Fix, Feature - Blind Mode - Can now edit actors pasted into a Scene while in Blind Mode.

Bug Fix, Feature - Floating Stage Previews - Preview Windows weren't updating their configuration once they'd been shown. Now, if you change Shared OpenGL Resources, Full Frame Antialiasing, Disable Vertical Retrace Sync, or Floating Stage Windows, and the preview windows are visible, Isadora will hide them and show them automatically.

Bug Fix, Feature - Rebuilt Media From Folder - Wasn't working in 3.0.1, but has been fixed on Mac and Windows for 3.0.2.

Bug Fix, Feature - Stage Setup - Default Preview Size percentage maximum limited to 100%.

Bug Fix, Feature - Detach Links at Output/Input - Issue where certain actions (mostly zooming/moving in the Scene Editor) would interfere with this feature is now fixed.

Bug Fix, Feature - Issue where pressure was not being read from Wacom tablets is now fixed.

Crash Fix - Control Panel - Selecting a Control and choosing “Send to Back” no longer causes a crash.

Crash Fix - Startup Crash - Fixed a Mac-only issue where having certain variants of "Vollkorn" font installed on Mac would cause a crash on startup.

Crash Fix - Reset to Default Values - Publishing an IzzyMap point, selecting the Projector actor, then selecting "Reset to Default Values" caused a series of assertion dialogs. (Issue present in 2.6.1.)

This affected more than just the Projector actor; similar crashes/problems were present with the Selector actor if you set the number of inputs to 3 and then perform the reset. In both cases, if you had links connected to the inputs that disappear because of the reset, they would be lost and not restored during undo. 

Crash Fix - IzzyMap - Fixed some issues relating to the Grid mapper slice options

Menu, Cosmetic - Menu: Isadora > Isadora Preferences (Dialog) > Warnings > When there is no audio output and the Sound Player is disabled - Added "(Windows Only)"

Menu, Cosmetic - Menu: Isadora: Isadora Preferences (Dialog): Warnings: When "Displays have separate Spaces" is Enabled (Mac Only) - Fixed capitalization

Menu, Cosmetic - Menu: Isadora > Isadora Preferences (Dialog) > Warnings - The last two warnings in this list no longer visually overlap

Menu, Change - Menu: Output > Sound Output Setup… - This menu option has returned (and as in 2.6.1 is Mac only).

Menu, Cosmetic - Menu: Help > Open Plugin Folder > TroikaTronix GLSL Shaders - "TroikaTronix Shaders" menu option renamed "TroikaTronix GLSL Shaders" for the sake of clarity

Dear Isadora Users,

Apple will release macOS 10.15 Catalina soon. Like many other companies, we suggest that you wait to install this new version of macOS.

Here's what you need to know:

Upgrading your operating system or your Isadora version during the run of a show is never a good idea: don't do it!!! We are aware that Isadora 3.0.2 crashes on startup under Catalina.We are testing Isadora 3.0.3 with Catalina right now, and it is running well. We plan to release this version within a week of Apple's release.If you have already upgraded to Catalina and need to work with Isadora 3, please submit a ticket so that we can provide you with a beta that runs on Catalina.Catalina will not run any 32 bit application, which includes Isadora 2 or earlier, because Catalina is a 64-bit only operating system.

We strongly suggest that you wait a few a few months before installing macOS Catalina. We on the TroikaTronix team usually wait at least six months before upgrading our show computers to ensure reliable performance. We hope our example will inspire you to do the same.

Sincerely, 

The TroikaTronix Team

More love for the grapher plugin🖤

but every single Mac OS release comes with a ton of problems

Of course, Windows Update wiped out Ryan's main hard drive *twice*. So, it's not just Apple who are benefiting us with issues. :-(
